Of equal interest is that the largest berry size was associated with the 12 pint treatment. Since only sound berries were counted when tabulating yield, the data in Table 1 does not indicate if yield was either depressed or enhanced by the fungicide. Other fungicide tests Several other cranberry fungi- cides were tested on this bog section, with the incidence of high field rot having the same effect on results

Other fungicide tests Several other cranberry fungi- cides were tested on this bog section, with the incidence of high field rot having the same effect on results as in the Bravo trials (Table 2). It is of interest to note the variation in field rot between the untreated plots in Tables 1 and 2, for it typifies the fluctuations in weeds, pests and vine growth that are found when (continued on page 6) Tabl e 2 Comparative Fl nqicide Experiments Yield (9" li Fruit rot % Cup count qrams — at harvest 5 wk . storage Total Untreated 94 226 51 9 60 Difolatan 4 pts 91 597 24 6 30 Dithane Z-78 9 lbs 95 633 24 6 30 Ferbam 9 lbs 95 383 57 9 66 Quintar 5 F qts. 102 143 59 3 62 Dithane M-22 WP 9 lbs 105 7 54 23 7 30 Dithane M-45 WP 9 lbs 97 653 25 6 31 Dithane M-45 Flowable 6 pts 103 361 49 8 57 Dithane M-45 Flowable 8 pts 95 758 18 6 24 1 The data represents mean averages of five replicate plots, with the exception of the untreated in which 10 plots were combined.
